    There is free parking at the Opry Mills Mall adjacent to the Grand Ole Opry and Gaylord Opryland. We’ve camped nearby at the KOA every year for 10 years and never paid to park at the Opry or Opryland.

    Just found your site and am enjoying it very much.I am 93 and my husband and I traveled in a 35 ft. 5th wheel. Experienced many of the same problems that you have gone through .It brings back all the memories that I love. Went to Nashville to visit my brother who was in hospital there and got lost in Nashville trying to get to the hospital. Traffic was horrible on the street of the Opry. A good samaratin helped us out. Thanks for the memories.

    When we go to the Grand Ole Opry or Gaylord we park in the mall parking lot and walk. There's a sidewalk that will take you to Gaylord Hotel and Convention center.

    Fellow Lymie here!! Totally relate to needing the downtime - rainy days and hot humid days are my most challenging days!!! We did a month long trip to Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier last August with another couple and I constantly felt like I was holding everyone else back. It's so hard to keep up! Just have to remind ourselves we need to rest and recharge when our body's tell us to. Keep on, keeping on!!! Love watching you guys!!

    Many of the places I wanted to go recently have raised the prices out of my want to spend the money there range. I know they need to make money and also by keeping the prices up you control the clientele, but it is getting ridicules at many places. Hope you have a few good days to do stuff wherever you guys are now Tara, I understand what you go through. Sta safe and healthy.

    Be careful going to Buckie’s. We parked in the back. We didn’t get parked to well, but it was going to be a quick visit. We were in the back lot with very little traffic. When we got back a shaggy looking guy was parked almost against us. He smirked at us. We got in quickly and left. We got to our campground by the grace of God. He had pulled our kinq pin on our hitch. There is no way it was normal wear and tear. We had read not to put a lock so you can unhitch quickly if the is an emergency. Now we put locks and one of us stay with the rig in crowds like Buckie’s.

    When we took the Opry tour, we just parked in the mall parking lot, for free. You should also check out the General Jackson Showboat that's on the other side of the mall from the Opry. For a great tour of Nashville, I would recommend Lawman Tours. He's a retired (28 years, I believe) Nashville police officer. He will pick you up, right at your campground. He has local knowledge and stories that are amazing.

My family does this every year at Christmas(only time we go to Gaylord Opryland hotel). Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

  • @tonygraham4814
    @tonygraham4814 11 месяцев назад

    I grew up in Nashville and go back often to visit family...I even worked at Opryland when it was an amusement park as a teenager! Elm Hill is our go-to park, but I agree that you have to be careful in choosing sites if you're big. We are a 45ft Class A towing. We always try to get one of the sites nearest the exit, usually around Site #105. It's nice & long, but still somewhat of a challenge for us to get into. The view is of the marina.

    South of Nashville is Franklin and it is a great town to see. Our daughter lived there for awhile. We loved the area.

      Agreed. Especially music row. The trolley driver we had pointed out just the right amount of detail and info. If we had driven down that road ourselves, we’d be like, “meh-just a bunch of houses/buildings with signs out front” - no real meaning to us without the information from the trolley driver.

      Rolling when you fall is essential when you get older (I'm 62). I was helping a friend in his RV install a new refrigerator and when we were done, I was carrying out a 2 wheel cart. My foot got caught on the 2nd step and down I went. Fortunately, I let go of the 2 wheel cart and I did a roll when I hit. The only injury I sustained was my friend only scored it an 8 out 10, so it ended up being a pretty good laugh. Now for a question. When you booked the site at that RV resort, did they put you on that site knowing you were 45 feet long? It seems to me, they should only book that site for rigs that are 35 feet or less.

I’m sorry you weren’t feeling well during your visit. Sorry to say, but the humidity is almost always bad in Tennessee. I guess we are used to it. 😊

    Nice work on the back up skills. I was stressed just watching. Not sure I could have done that with my 42'er.
